What do you think of this one? http://www.tesco-shopping.com/bikeseatdetails.htm Hugs, CatNipped All I can reiterate is soft padding does *not* equal comfort when cycling any distance. If it were, the pro-cyclists would be using them. Seriously. You are going through the painful learning process of saddle fit and its importance. Find a local bike shop to you that has a good reputation - not a supermarket - find a specialist bike shop that will do a proper saddle fit for you. Some will even let you try out several for a deposit and then discount from saddle purchase. As a long-term cyclist who uses her bike to ride up to 100 miles a time and uses it almost on a daily basis all I can say I too had to learn the hard way that soft saddle does not equate to real comfort. I will not be going back to a soft saddle anytime soon ... hint ;-) Cheers, helen s |

I will not be going back to a soft saddle anytime soon ... hint ;-) Cheers, helen s Yep, I believe you. And I finally found a decent bike shop (here in "the fattest city in the US" it's hard to find experts on exercise!! ;) that confirmed everything you've told me (with no pressure to buy anything!!!). I guess that if what I thought were truly a comfortable bike seat really was comfortable they would be on sale somewhere, but they're not - so this novice just needs to get it into her head to: 1) let my bruised bones heal before doing any more 2-hour biking runs, 2) change my riding style to alternate "standing" and pedaling every 10 - 15 minutes to get the circulation going to my butt and to temporarily relieve the pressure on my sit bones, 3) try a hard saddle with a "fart hole" (I love that term, Helen) - just like the one you recommended (they will let you exchange saddles until you find the right one without having to eat the cost of each saddle). They had one for only $40. Hugs, CatNipped |

I'm sorry, Lori, but I think what you're looking for is called a donut. I don't think they make them for bicycles... more like for hemorrhoids Jill |
